SHARON - A brownfield got a little greener - make that a lot greener  
- on Monday as Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley was on hand for a public unveiling  
of Sharon Fence Co.âs new manufacturing plant in Sharon.



"It's a great story because it represents economic progress for the  
region," Cawley told a gathering of more than 50 civic leaders.



Located along the Dock Street corridor, the site was once the home of  
National Castings Corp. The railroad parts producer closed its doors  
there in the early â80s. Left unused for years, the site has been  
cleaned to allow for new businesses and expansions.



Sharon Fenceâs new 55,000-square-foot production and office center  
is part of a $4 million project that was awarded a $708,000 grant  
from the state Department of Community and Economic Development. The  
grant was used to develop the newly created Renaissance Commerce  
Industrial Park in Sharon.



In addition to Sharon Fence Co., Wheatland Tube and Sunbelt  
Transformer also benefited from the improved industrial park.
